Best Book To Get

[runt]

What do you experienced Gamedog owners think thats the best book out there to own?

[socks]

i personally would suggest The Complete Gamedog by Ed Faron...it has some stories in it but it also has alot of how to in it also

[Texasbulldogs]

If only purchasing one book...The Merck Veterinary Manual is the one to get!

[440rider]

8th or 9th/50th anniv. addition? Any suggestions on which one..... the 8th is cheaper you think there's any major difference? Tks

[misterdogman]

If only purchasing one book...The Merck Veterinary Manual is the one to get!Here is a good start to read it online, I dont know how it compares to the real book in hand but it does teach a lot, and Tex is right... knowledge about Vet info should be of the utmost importance before reading other useless info about APBTs. I found this site very informative compared to other books...Tex could you check this out and see if it is like the real manual...

The complete gamedog by ed & chris faron .......I got mine directly from wildside kennels and ed signed it ......great book with great stories and info.

yeah i agree the complete game dog book is by far the best i have read on any apbt books alot of info on anything from dog houses to flea and tick control a good vet section on the book talk about diseases and everything.

Dogs of velvet and Steel by Bob Stevens its a great read

[Marty]

"Fighting for life" by Frank Rocca is a good read also ;)

[miakoda]

"Fighting for life" by Frank Rocca is a good read also ;)
I just bought that one this weekend! They had lots of great books at the show & all were great low prices.

IN the 80's the most popular book by far was Stratton's third book World of the APBT. IT's still my favorite of the ones I've read. I've not, however, read the Complete Gamedog in full. I would say avoid Stratton's last book as his second and third are better. Also avoid Semencic books. The Colby book is good

your gonna need 2 books merck vet manual,and the complete gamedog.once you know these books inside and out you wont have a whole lot of questions left,lol.

[Crash97]

your gonna need 2 books merck vet manual,and the complete gamedog.once you know these books inside and out you wont have a whole lot of questions left,lol.I agree, between those two books many questions will be answered.

I've got Roccas book too, but found it more a call to arms to start fighting back against the bullshit surrounding the breed and everyday life than an informative book on bulldogs. He does delve rather deeply into the geneology of many dogs although.

Dogs of velvet and Steel by Bob Stevens its a great readHow much you want for it?

The complete gamedog by ed & chris faron .......I got mine directly from wildside kennels and ed signed it ......great book with great stories and info.

The pitbull bible is a really must have. The merck manual is also great.

What Rocky posted may be true, but I find the book to be quite a good read so far(just started it, only 100 pages into it or so). He does kind of repeat certain things over and over, but the info on housing and yard setup is good. I appreciate the fact that he seems to want the best for the dogs and explains why this setup is better/safer than this one.

A very good book to have...well worth the $$ spent!

[JBlazeRx7]

I have the Complete Game Dog(signed by both Ed and Chis) this is DEF a must have, the Merck Manual. All great books to have!:)

[general]

was around to a mates yard and he showed me this book written by cal. jack..( pitbull bible ) to be honest the guy has put out a top class book. i am in dogs twice the years cal. jack is, but the guy has penned a top class book... you either love the guy or hate him, but give the guy credit.

"Fighting for life" by Frank Rocca

[dajuice]

[DMMK]

It's not that great of a book. There's much better. If you already don't know about dogs and their lineage, this book is going to be quite confusing and a boring read.

I'd say The Complete Gamedog by Ed & Chris Faron. Not the best by any means, but they cover a wide range of topics. Good for a reference.

[wheezie]

can you still buy the ultimate game dog form wildside kennels? im wondering becau i would like t buy it but with all there legal problems i didint know if they were still taking orders
